"I love Victorian inspired shoes and these are a beautiful pair that fit true-to-size. I am a size six, which usually translates to 37 in Chelsea Crew shoes, and these fit perfectly. I was concerned the toebox would be too narrow but it is not. My feet are slightly wider than average and the width was fine. The heel height is comfortable and I like that the laces allow you to adjust the opening of the boot. If you are a fan of victorian or steampunk style, get these boots. I have them in black and am considering buying them in burgundy as well."
